Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

The exploration of the transfer maze has come to a complete end.

When Paul and the others carried the unconscious Senis out of the teleportation maze, everyone's faces were filled with a sense of disbelief.

After all, no one expected that the exploration of the transfer maze would be so full of twists and turns, and the battle with the Northern God was beyond the imagination of everyone present. Even after the final victory, no one clearly felt the reality of the victory.

Only the vanished Northern God III and the still-sleeping Senis proved that everyone's efforts had not been in vain.

Upon arriving in town, Shirou suddenly felt a violent sense of disorientation. An imbalance within his body made him feel lightheaded, as if he were in a dream. In the midst of extreme confusion, his consciousness abruptly broke down, and he collapsed onto the street before he could react.

This scene terrified Paul and the others, who quickly took him and Senis to the doctor in the Labyrinth City.

After examination, the doctor confirmed that Shirou's condition was simply exhaustion. Due to excessive tension, he had completely exceeded the limits of the human body, which caused him to lose consciousness the moment he relaxed. He only needs a period of rest to recover.

Paul, Rudius, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they did not relax, after all, besides Shirou, Senis's condition was also really worrying.

The other party has been in the maze for so long, it's hard to guarantee that their body won't develop any abnormal problems.

Ultimately, Paul, as the team leader, made up his mind to disband the search and rescue team on the spot and planned to take Shirou and Senis to the Kingdom of La Noa to meet up with Noren and Aisha, who were stranded at the Magic University.

No one would question that.

Since the search and rescue team was essentially established to rescue Senis, now that Senis has been successfully rescued, the team naturally has no reason to continue existing.

Loki was the first to speak up, expressing her wish to travel with Paul and the others, as she herself wanted to visit her former teachers at the Magic University.

Although there was more to it than just that, there was also Loki's own selfish desire to stay by Shirou's side, but at least on the surface, she did go to the magic academy simply for this reason, so naturally no one questioned it.

Thus, many years after the Great Migration, the Grerat family officially embarked on their journey home.

……

Shirou felt like he was dreaming.

Normally, people are unaware that they are dreaming, but Shirou is clearly aware that he is dreaming.

In his dream, he returned to the long-lost Emiya residence, where he met Kiritsugu Emiya, who should have died long ago, and also his younger sister, Miyu.

Although he knew it was a dream, Shirou still willingly immersed himself in it, chatting with Kiritsugu about everything that happened after Kiritsugu's death, and even recounting his own story after being transported to another world. Regarding his experiences and his decision to abandon the path of a champion of justice, Kiritsugu smiled but didn't offer much comment, as if to say that it was for the best, that it was alright...

Shirou didn't know if this was a good thing or not, but he didn't doubt his actions and firmly believed that his choice was correct.

In her dream, Miyu seemed to have changed a lot compared to her memory. She looked taller and stronger than before.

Shirou even felt that the other person had become more mature and more discerning than himself.

Compared to himself, who couldn't even distinguish the path of a righteous ally, Shirou felt that Miyu had become more reliable than him and had become an excellent person.

The brother and sister chatted for a long time, but Shirou didn't talk much about himself like Kiritsugu did; instead, he asked about Miyu.

Although it seemed like they had a conversation, Shirou was completely unaware of what Miyu had said to him, perhaps because it was a dream.

In short, he also cooked a sumptuous dinner for his family at the end.

Shirou and Kiritsugu were drinking and chatting happily, while Miyu sat quietly beside them, watching them with an expression of admiration as she listened to their story.

Everything is so beautiful.

It wasn't until Shirou fully realized that this was just an impossible dream.

A sound like a mirror shattering rang out, and Shirou realized that the surrounding environment was empty, and he was all alone.

He then slowly stood up, walked to the door frame, gently pushed open the gate of the Emiya residence, and then completely closed it from the outside.

"Goodbye."

Shirou spoke silently, and then a light suddenly appeared. His consciousness seemed to rise from the bottom of the water to the surface, and he opened his eyes.

Shirou first realized that he was lying in a bumpy carriage, which was moving forward on an unfamiliar road.

Shirou silently got up and found a sleeping woman lying next to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the woman was Senis.

He then immediately realized his situation.

He successfully rescued Senis and is now on his way back to the Kingdom of Lanoa with her and Paul and the others.

Shirou's idea was quickly confirmed.

He opened the carriage window and saw Rudeus sitting in front of the carriage, driving it with a bored expression.

Upon seeing Shirou wake up, Rudeus's face immediately lit up with excitement. He excitedly called over Paul and Loki and told Shirou what had happened after he fell into a coma.

In short, since Senis has been successfully rescued, Paul has completely abandoned the search team and stopped wasting manpower on building unnecessary exploration teams.

For this reason, Paul sent his former subordinates back to the Kingdom of Asura.

Keith, Tarhand, and Alina Liz, former teammates of the Black Wolf Fang, have once again gone their separate ways.

Currently, the only people on the carriage are Paul, Rudeus, Lilia, Shirou, Senis, who are members of the Grellat family, and Loki, who is on her way to the Magic University.

Upon hearing Rudeus's words, Shirou nodded, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

Even though she didn't understand what she was feeling, a smile had already crept onto her lips.

After all, in his previous life, he failed to protect the important people in his life, and he couldn't even fully protect one of his important family members. It was a complete failure.

But this time, he succeeded. He didn't lose a single important person and protected all his family members with his own hands.

This was undoubtedly a huge salvation for him.

In his dream, the faces of Kiritsugu Emiya and Miyu gradually faded from his mind, as his past obsessions were being gradually released.

Are we going home?

Shirou still seemed a little unsure and asked.

"Yes."

Paul, across the carriage, smiled at Shirou and said, "Shirou, you did it. We can finally go home."

“…Kong…”

For a moment, Shirou was overwhelmed with emotion.

Rudeus and Lilia had long since been unable to hold back their tears.

After who knows how many years, the Grellatt family will be reunited once again.

This is something that cannot be taken lightly or glossed over by anyone in this family.

……

Thanks to the teleportation magic circle, the journey between the Kingdom of Lanoa and the continent of Bekalite is not very long, and it only takes one or two months to reach them.

During the battle, Shirou was too exhausted from fighting Kitakami III and was unable to continue fighting.

Paul and Rudius then took on the task of defense.

Luo Qixi also joined in to help, contributing her own efforts.

With a Saint-level swordsman and two King-level mages present, ordinary monsters posed no threat to their safety.

The group quickly completed their journey across the continent of Becallit, instantly arriving in the northern part of the central continent from the teleportation labyrinth, and successfully reaching the Kingdom of Lanoa.

The moment they arrived in the Kingdom of Lanoa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What follows is a genuine sense of joy at being alive.

This was Paul's first time in the Kingdom of Lanoa. He had never been to this northern land before when he lived as an adventurer, so he was full of curiosity and asked Rudius, who had lived here for many years, all sorts of questions. He was not at all like a father.

Although Rudeus spent a long time at the Magic University, he actually spent even longer in seclusion, resulting in a rather limited understanding of the northern lands. As a result, his answers were quite stiff, and he even secretly gave Shirou a look several times, hoping that the latter could help him get out of this predicament.

Senis remained unconscious throughout the journey, but her steady breathing provided some reassurance.

Paul said that once he arrived at the magic university, he would do everything he could to find a famous doctor to cure Senis's illness.

This point was also agreed upon by Shirou and Rudeus.

So, on their way to the magic university, the group took the opportunity to seek out renowned doctors in various towns to treat Senis's illness.

However, even the most renowned doctors were frustrated and helpless in the face of Senis's condition, and many could not even find the cause of her illness.

Until he met a magician who was very knowledgeable about curses.

The other party is an S-rank member of the Mage's Association, who is willing to help Shirou after learning that he is Principal Genus's disciple.

After examining Senis, he concluded:

"This lady's condition is likely due to some kind of curse. Of course, calling it a curse isn't entirely accurate. The lady has no health problems and hasn't experienced any aftereffects. The so-called curse is more like a sudden physical change that the human body can't adapt to."

"What...does this specifically mean?"

The magician's words were too abstract, leaving Paul completely bewildered.

The magician then spoke again: "To put it more vividly, you've heard of the existence of divine children and cursed children, right? In fact, most divine children and cursed children are affected by curses. Of course, curses not only have bad aspects but also good aspects, which is why there is a distinction between divine children and cursed children. Your situation is like being transformed into a divine child or a cursed child later in life, but your mortal body has not received the appropriate modifications, so it cannot adapt to special powers."

"Is there... any way to treat her?"

"The worst-case scenario is to leave it alone and wait for the lady's body to adapt to that power; she might recover, but that depends entirely on luck. The next best-case scenario is to find a way to remove the curse's power. The Mage's Association has some research in this area, but it might damage her soul, since curses are closely related to the soul. The best-case scenario is to find a way to isolate the curse from the lady's body, but research in this area is only just beginning..."

Although the magician came up with three methods in one go, each method had limitations and certain drawbacks.

Shirou, Rudeus, and Paul discussed the matter for a long time but couldn't make a decision immediately. After expressing their gratitude, they could only take Senis back with them.

The group continued on their journey, but unexpectedly overheard an interesting rumor.

The stone tablet, which is said to be related to the seven great powers and has remained unchanged for decades, has had its names changed.

Upon hearing this news, Shirou vaguely realized something.

When he happened to find the stone tablets of the seven great powers nearby, he immediately realized the situation—

The first six names on the stone tablets of the seven great powers remained unchanged, but the seventh name had changed from "North God" to Shirou's name.

This marks the first change to the monuments of the seven great powers in decades, and the names on them are no longer fixed titles but directly show the personal names.

This is because Shirou himself was not a direct successor of any school, so he did not inherit any title passed down by any god-like figure. Since the seven great powers could not extract the title, they chose to engrave his name directly on the stone tablet.

Although Shirou had a vague feeling that something like this would happen the moment he defeated the Northern God III, he only realized it when it actually happened, discovering that he had actually come this far and become one of the Seven Great Powers.

Although he only ranked last, this is enough to demonstrate his prestige, representing that he has become one of the world's top experts.

Recalling how he used to practice swordsmanship every day in Buyena Village, giving his all to reach the goals set by his superiors, his current achievements truly gave him a feeling of being in another world.

Of course, Shirou did not become complacent because of this.

He was well aware that he had not yet reached the place he was meant to be. Becoming one of the seven great powers did not mean the end of his journey; in a sense, it was merely the beginning of the next journey and battle.

Chapter 341 The Asura Civil War Begins! The Next Divine War Is Imminent!

Paul and Rudius soon learned that Shirou had become the seventh of the seven great powers.

Although they were mentally prepared, when faced with this fact, everyone still showed surprise. They could hardly believe that the person next to them had gained the recognition of the seven great powers' stone tablets and become one of the seven strongest people in the world.

Of course, Shirou himself didn't care much about becoming one of the Seven Great Powers. He wouldn't get cocky or think he was invincible just because he became one of the Seven Great Powers. He wouldn't have such a naive and foolish idea.

Because the so-called Seven Great Powers is just a ranking, and it's a ranking made by a god of technology whose existence is unknown, or even whether it actually exists.

How could a master strategist possibly assess the true strength of the great powers?

At least Shirou himself, after his battle with Alexander, did not feel that Alexander possessed any groundbreaking strength. Even with the addition of the King Dragon Sword, the opponent's strength felt to be at most at the level of the Sword Emperor, far less oppressive than the other powerful figures, and even less than the Water God he had encountered before.

Yes, Shirou didn't think Alexander was stronger than the Water God. Although it was just his personal feeling, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Because Alexander himself relied too much on the Dragon King Sword, once an opponent appeared that the Dragon King Sword could not handle, the opponent would be completely at a loss.

But the Water God is clearly not like that. Shirou still hasn't forgotten that stunning sword strike that defeated him in an instant.

Considering that if he were to participate in the civil war of the Kingdom of Asura, there was a high probability that he would have to clash with the water god again, Shirou instinctively felt nervous.

Even now, having successfully defeated the Northern God III, Shirou still lacks the confidence to defeat the water god...

However, a battle with the water god is unlikely to happen immediately.

Given enough time to prepare, and perhaps even to fully unleash the power of Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou might have a chance to defeat the Water God.

In short, it was precisely because of this mindset, and the existence of truly formidable enemies, that Shirou felt no complacency about becoming one of the Seven Great Powers. On the contrary, he became more tense and serious than before, spending his days training himself.

……

The group continued their journey to the magic university.

Nothing particularly unusual happened during the process.

Shirou spent each day restoring his physical condition, and once he was able to move, he began practicing swordsmanship tirelessly, experiencing the improvement he had gained from the battle with Alexander.

Alexander, after all, was the mighty Northern God. His opponent's Northern God Style techniques greatly inspired Shirou, allowing his Northern God Style skills, which had been stagnant for a long time, to begin to advance once again.
